I just purchased an incra LS system with JessEM lift and JessEm router - but decided not to plunk another few hundred dollars on the table, which I find overpriced. So I decided to make my own. I will be using bunch of angle iron from bed frames, which were free, plus I have plenty of wheels from discarded shopping carts. Also got a welding machine to weld the base. Your video on making your incra cabinet helped me a lot. This video also helped me, because I was curious to see how would one 'retrofit' a cabinet with drawers into an existing table made out of metal. These two videos helped me decide how to go about it. Your videos are clean, concise with few tricks thrown in here and there (very useful for beginner woodworker) and your video angles are good. You speak slowly for folks to understand and most of your videos have good sound. Thank you kindly for inspiring me about how to go about building this (and also about buying the incra LS system, from your other video comparison of incra vs kreg. I agree, it's hard to compare incra!)

That's a really well thought out design you have there Thom. I installed an old Wolfcraft cast aluminum table router in the end of my tablesaw which frees up some of my shop space. However, since I attach my router fence to the tablesaw fence setups of depth of router cut on a horizontal plane are proving to be a real pain. I'm looking at purchasing one of these Kreg tables and like your setup. Will probably follow your lead on this one.

Hi Thorm, Thanks for the top video. I have watched it several times and I like the changes/inovations you made to the draw slides (K.I.S.S.) by not using slide mechanisms and the rear mounted switch. I now have the Kreg table and will shortly start building the cabinet. The only thing I will do differently is the dust collection. There is an improved version on utube that uses a baffle that causes the dust to fall down a sloped baffle through the stream of dust extraction air and then through a chamber that narrows towards the 4" dust outlet. It seems to be very efficient at removing the chips. All the best. Jeff

It was put up by geoffr123 and is the"New Yankee Workshop S15E1 #0301 Delux router station". The info is at around the 16 min mark in the video and I believe it is one of the better solutions to increasing the amount of dust collected under the table. I think little piles of chips in corners will always be a present. all the best. Jeff

Fbtool, The Jessem is a perfect fit in the Kreg table. I don't screw down my lift the weight is enough to hold it in place. He Kreg plate levelers work fine for making the plate level with the surface but the screw holes in the Jessem don't match up with the holes in the Kreg leveler brackets. Jessem does sell replacement bracket levelers for the Kreg table for I think $20 if you really want to screw your lift down. I have a Porter cable 7518 in my lift, plenty of weight to hold it in place. I think the magnet inserts in the incra are a great idea. The jessem uses a two pin wrench so the incra eliminates that. Either one is a great choice. I really love the Jessem lift.

Also, your modifications to the Kreg design make a lot of sense and are an improvement to their design, in my opinion. Your sliding tray type drawers are a simple and efficient design. I'm getting ready to upgrade to this table and fence soon. I have a Jointech router lift. (Made by Jessem, I believe) It should fit perfectly. Very glad I found your video. Will definitely refer back to it when I get my Kreg table. Thanks!

I liked the sliding drawer design as well... much less complicated than the Kreg way of using extension drawer slides. But, there needed to be some explanation about the changes in the width of the tray type drawers because - using Kreg's measurements - along with the suggestion of putting them in via dados, the sliding trays need to be 1" wider than what the plans call for. This was not clearly explained in the video. Thankfully, I cut my plywood to size in such a way that I have extra to cut new bit drawers.

The only thing I did differently was I was worried about make up air for the router so instead of the door, I built a panel made of plexiglass and wrapped in the 3/4" plywood. (Kinda stole the idea from Norm's Deluxe router table, It acts as my door and allows air to get to my router. Other than that it looks identical. Thanks Thom for the inspiration!

Using Kreg’s instructions along with Mark Eaton‘s ideas and some great ideas that you showed here, I’ve got more than I need to build a nice cabinet. I don’t remember if your video showed it but I am curious as to how you sealed off your cabinet from the bottom side of the router table top in order to make it more airtight for dust collection.

I really enjoyed watching how you changed up the Kreg plan a bit and also how you explained why you made the changes you did. I especially liked the mounting system for the switch...brilliant idea to put it where it is easiest to get at. Would you by chance know the manufacturer and item number of the router bit you used for the door panels? I know there are probably hundreds out there that are similar, but I really like that look. I just bought the entire Kreg Precision Router Table system last week (table top, fence, stand) and Woodcraft threw in the switch, casters and insert ring set for free. I also picked up the Kreg precision lift. Assembled it all yesterday...now I just need all this Wisconsin snow to melt so I can get it out in the garage to start building! Although it does look pretty darn nice sitting in the kitchen too...LOL.

I like your improved modification of the original plan. I've been under the impression that increased airflow was needed and included an open slot in the front of the table. I was wondering if making that router life cover drawer 1/2" shorter would improve airflow by having a sheet of air enter that bay from the top front and pick up the dust as the air moves to the bottom collection port. Given your larger dust collector and its suction, it seems as if you'd need greater airflow by opening the front and the opening from the bit. That slanted board would also improve airflow by closing off the front bottom dead-air flow part of that enclosed space. I'd appreciate your thoughts given your own experience with your dust collector and whether it is laboring due a shortage of airflow with the more closed off environment. Thank you. I like your more practical plan.

+Wayne Morris thanks for watching. I used pocket hole screws with no glue so I can change the trays if I want a new configuration.

Nice Vedic, I am in the process of building this cabinet in my kreg router. My question is what dust collection do you use, I have a mark 5 and a shop smith dust collection system not sure if that will work ?

The Shopsmith dust collection should work fine. I used my shop vac before I had my Jet.

How did you attach the drawer fronts to the bit shelves? That's not clear on the video. I love your modifications to the orginal plans and the video has been very helpful.

Thom, Great video and modification to the original Kreg cabinet design. I received the Kreg router table and several accessories for Christmas and look forward to using your design to build the cabinet. I noticed you have the Ridgid Oscillating Edge/Belt Spindle Sander in the background. I am considering purchasing one and wondered how you like it. I am in the process of setting up a small shop in the basement and it would be my only stationary sander. Thoughts? Again, thanks for the great video.

Fran, thanks for watching The Rigid sander is the best one I've used especially for a small shop. The price is right and warranty. Good luck with the cabinet.

Just redesigned my kreg router table cabinet and changed things up to favor this design more. i put vent holes in the front door ... so when the dust collector is on it can get the proper air flow and operate more efficiently. thanks for the video and link to the plans... i cant for the life of me find my coupon so i could down load the plans for this project.

I'm really glad I came across this video. Nice work. The Kreg instructions and video are not all that clear, although I got the idea. Incidentally, what did you do about the router fence dust port? Do you connect that to a separate extractor/vacuum or did you connect it to the under-table box? Cheers Max

Thanks for question and watching Romi, I bought a dust port splitter from Rockler, now I just hook up my 4 inch dust collector. The splitter has 2-1/2 in port on top that I attached a short piece of hose to go to the fence works well.

Awesome build! I’m close to having mine done! I made a raised box for my above the table switch with a channel to hide the wires. Would like to show, but not sure how I can do that.

Hey Thom, Pleased to meet you via KZitem. I purchased a Kreg router table last year and still waiting for it to arrive, grrrr. Anyway, loved your video on the Kreg cabinet (and Ive subscribed 🙂) so I went looking for the plans so I am ready to go when my table finally arrives. Unfortunately, the plans don't seem to exist anymore, are you able to help with that? Cheers! Bill (Adelaide, Australia)

Thanks for watching and subscribing. It’s great to meet you also. I just tried to find the plans and I didn’t see them either. I have them on my phone. Just email me at Backyardwoodshop@gmail.com. And ask for the kreg router cabinet plans. And I’ll send them to you.

Thom, Awesome video. I am brand new at woodworking ( 8 months), my first major purchase was this exact router table, I really like what you have done with the changes,I was wondering if you have the plans for the changes you made to the existing plans from kreg. I have their plans and have bought the plywood was about to start within the next couple days,and then saw this video and would much rather build yours instead. Thanks Barry

First of all, thanks for doing this video, I plan to do this with my Kreg router table as well. Question for you, did you have any issues with your router motor getting hot? I know there's always a concern about sawdust and debris falling back toward the motor but it also looked like maybe the air intake over the motor could get obstructed easier. Has this been an issue for you with this cabinet plan?
@thomrider
6 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching. I have not had any issues with the motor getting hot, I usually have the dust collector hooked up so there is air being pulled through the cabinet space which helps keep the motor cool as well as removing the sawdust. Good luck with your build.

Thoroughly outstanding video and a terrific job on the cabinet! Very much liked your mods. Can you say where you got the plans for it? I'm thinking of picking up a Kreg router table & Triton 3 HP router.
